Chapter 701 - 553: Commission
Ji An rode the clouds back to the Gathering Essence Tree, and the Qilin transformed from the Wuji Xinghuang Banner let out a welcoming roar.
The Cyan Deer trotted nearby, the bell around its neck ringing with a crisp and pleasant sound.
"Yoo Yoo!"
The sound was full of joy, as it greatly enjoyed the environment here, where the Spiritual Qi was very pure and staying here long-term would help purify its bloodline.
Ji An reached out and patted the head of the Cyan Deer, as he currently had no plans to venture out, all his Beast Taming creatures were left to roam freely in the Little World.
Lan Bei, the Cyan Water Turtle, was in the mud at the bottom of the pond near the Pure Water Lotus, barely seen usually.
The Spiritual Veins of the Gourd World had a total of five Spirit Vein Nodes, with a small Spirit Vein Node beneath the Gathering Essence Tree in the central area, while the pond in the black soil and the Magma Lake at the bottom of the Molten Rock Abyss were mini Spirit Vein Nodes.
The Cyan Water Turtle slumbered in the Spirit Vein Node, and with the subtle influence of the Pure Water Lotus, naturally enhanced the purity of its bloodline through the washing of Spiritual Qi.
The Golden Fur and Dahuang wandered the Spirit Field daily, and would come to sleep soundly under the Gathering Essence Tree when resting.
Their food turned out to be the Spirit Devouring Insects, which Ji An had not anticipated.
However, this way, he wouldn’t have to worry about preparing food for the beast taming creatures, thus reducing their feeding costs significantly.
The Cyan Deer lowered its head, gently nudged its master with its sturdy antlers, then stepped away.
As its hooves touched the ground, it occasionally revealed the scene of green grass sprouting and flowers blooming.
Ji An raised an eyebrow in surprise, then smiled knowingly. The Cyan Deer showed signs of evolution in its bloodline, which was great news.
This meant that the likelihood of the beast taming creatures breaking through to the Golden Core Stage was much greater in the future.
A Golden Core Level beast taming creature would be a significant asset.
Not to mention, its formidable Demonic Power alone could fight for him, and with a Golden Core Demon Beast refining its throat bone, it could also serve as his representative in external dealings.
Among his many beast taming creatures, the Cyan Deer had the greatest potential, deserving of good cultivation.
Ji An sat cross-legged beneath the Gathering Essence Tree, focusing his mind to adjust his state.
As his Sea of Consciousness became void-like and tranquil, he activated the Five Elements Reincarnation Scripture.
The Spiritual Mechanism and Spiritual Qi contained in the Spirit Field were drawn together, quickly converging on Ji An’s position, forming a Spiritual Energy Vortex several feet high above his head.
The vortex’s five-colored light shimmered like a dreamlike vision.
The Spiritual Qi and Spiritual Mechanism were inhaled through his mouth and nose, then circulated along different routes, with the Spirit Body merging into the bloodline and the Spiritual Mechanism blending into the corresponding Five Elements Divine Mansion.
After decades of diligent cultivation day and night, his understanding of the Cultivation Technique had deepened further.
In his view, this Cultivation Technique was far-reaching in its aspirations, worthy of its status as the core technique of the former Nascent Soul Sect.
By using the Five Elements as a foundation and continuous cycle, while nurturing the Divine Mansion, it infused the Dantian’s Golden Core with Five Elements Spirit Liquid, a new phenomenon that had only emerged in recent days.
During the Chao Origin Stage, it was only when the Divine Mansion reached Perfection and the Qi Eating Technique operated that Five Elements Spirit Liquid could be transformed.
Now, simply absorbing Spiritual Qi for cultivation could transform Spiritual Liquid; Qi Eating had already woven into his instincts, occurring at all times.
While Qi Eating during the Chao Origin Stage required a specific environment because the Five Elements Qi needed to be at a certain concentration to be absorbed with the then-current powers.
Nowadays, with Golden Core Level cultivation, it equated to becoming a more powerful motor, sweeping up all Spiritual Qi and free-floating Five Elements Qi in one go.
This transformation was described in the Cultivation Technique, but most cultivators only experienced it upon breaking into the Mid-stage Golden Core, with a few excellent disciples experiencing it at the Third-Layer Golden Core.
Only a very few cultivators, extremely well-attuned to the Cultivation Technique, could experience such a situation at the Second-Layer Golden Core.
In the history of the Five Elements Sect, there were only two such cultivators.
’Unknowingly, I too have created history.’
Ji An felt a small joy in his heart but soon calmed his emotions, continuing to maintain the operation of the Cultivation Technique.
Spiritual Qi surged like a tide in the Immortal Vein, quickly transitioning from gas to liquid, and finally refining into grains of crystal-clear pale golden Magic Power Essence.
An hour later, the Water Element Divine Mansion condensed two drops of black Spiritual Liquid, and the Wood Element Divine Mansion condensed two drops of cyan Spiritual Liquid, with the Five Elements Spiritual Liquid dividing into two groups, one flowing into the Dantian and the other into the Golden Core in the chest acupoint.
The Magic Power Essence was also split in two, most going into the Golden Core and a smaller portion entering the Dantian.
With the operation of the Cultivation Technique, the Golden Core slowly rotated, like a self-rotating star.
The Magic Power Essence and Five Elements Spiritual Liquid adhered to the Golden Core, quickly seeping in, with a faint shimmering light flashing across the Golden Core’s surface briefly.
The Magic Power Essence entering the Dantian mostly fell into the Primordial Life Fire, with the Five Elements Spiritual Liquid also forming a cluster, dripping similarly into the Primordial Life Fire.
The flame’s luster became even more brilliant, as if the Earth-Departing Flame Banner and Cyan Lotus Treasure Banner were two lively Swimming Fish, reveling in this grand festivity.
The Magic Power Essence not infused into the Primordial Life Fire hovered in the air, gathering more and more, resembling clusters of Golden Cloud.
The Magic Power Essence continuously generated, and another hour passed, with each Five Elements Divine Mansion once again condensing two drops of Spiritual Liquid, which respectively flowed into the Dantian and Golden Core.
The cycle repeated, tirelessly continuing.
Six hours later, Ji An felt the accumulation of fatigue in his Spirit Soul growing increasingly overwhelming, prompting him to slow the operation of the Cultivation Technique and gradually conclude his practice.
A Stone Turtle emerged from the void, landing in his palm and swiftly merging into his body.
The next moment, the Stone Turtle entered the Dantian, its mouth opening and closing, swallowing all the Magic Power Essence gathered into clusters of Golden Cloud without leaving a trace.
Comfortably, it swayed its head, nestling between the Primordial Life Fire and Cyan Lotus Heart-Burning Fire, closing its eyes, remaining still and peaceful.
